I didn’t see this posted anywhere so I thought I’d create a thread.
Many thanks to Fighter’s Generation for posting the link.

It’s a very cool manga, I like the focus on SF2’s mechanics. I think even the Daigo haters will enjoy this.
Tip: You have to read it from right to left (lol, took me a couple of pages to realize this).
kuroda manga is better
Wtf are they waiting to translate the book instead.
but that Young Alex Valle
Link?
I need to know where to get this manga. please pm me.
so when is the next chapter going to be released? is it going to be monthly?
It’s a one-shot, I think.
I actually bought this manga and so far it looks pretty good (judging from my very limited Japanese). The next chapters seems to be mostly flashback of Daigo’s childhood. It depicts how competitive he was even in school, his first experience with street fighter 2 in a video rental store, his first loss to a salaryman Blanka player…etc
The final chapters shows his encounter with the top players of street fighter 2 in the old days. Including 1992 Gamest Street Fighter Champion Kazatachi (?). It seems like there is going to be more chapters in the future since it said “to be continued” in the last chapter.
BTW Daigo’s elder sister is a cutie.
ha I dunno where it is anymore and it was only like 8 pages anyway
I’ll be the first to say it then this is pretty fucking bad. It’s unbelievably corny and Daigo makes for a terribly dull MC. (Then again this is only the first chapter so…)
I was checking Nohoho’s blog and I found a bio for this player. Nohoho himself is not sure how his name is spelled but the manga clearly calls him “Kazatachi”.
*Tachigawa
Japanese: 太刀川
Character: Claw, Ryu, Guile
Gamest Cup SF2CE (1992): 1st
I don’t have a lot of concrete information (for that matter, I’m not even sure if I’ve got the name right,) but Tachigawa is often referred to as the greatest SF2 player ever. His trademarks included a mind-blowing combo ability as well as a ruthless corner trap. *
Footage of Tachigawa at 1:50.

Clearly he was already past his prime after CE.
those standing 360s, dayum!
will they talk about how valle scraped him in evo2k6 in hsf2 and 3s?
Can’t wait for the 5 gods of japan arc
I hope he puts the day where I tried to say hi to him at an event and he just walked away in the manga. I know that was a life changing moment for both of us.
